RealFeedApp Ant Group and vLLM open-source Humming library
The vLLM community and Ant Group have open-sourced Humming, a high-performance kernel library for quantized inference. It supports NVIDIA GPUs from Turing onward and T-Head's Zhenwu 810E, outperforming existing implementations like Marlin, FlashInfer, and DeepGEMM across various workloads.
- Field
- applying language models
- What they did
- The vLLM community and Ant Group released the Humming library to speed up the execution of language models using reduced data precision. It supports modern NVIDIA GPUs and other devices, allowing various data formats to improve performance.
- Why it matters
- This will help deploy large language models on devices with limited memory, reducing computation costs and improving performance.
